Join Us For Live Friday TV Comments

It's going to be an interesting day from the New Hampshire Motor Speedway on Friday. ESPN2 and SPEED are going to be flipping coverage back and forth depending on whether the Sprint Cup Series cars or the Camping World trucks are on the track.

The day ends with an interesting TV tripleheader of shows. Nicole Briscoe hosts NASCAR Now, then the saga of Kyle and Samantha continues on Kyle Busch: Riding Shotgun . Finally, Krista Voda returns to host Trackside with Todd Bodine as a guest. That is Todd above about to be interviewed by Glinda, the Good Witch.

There is no love lost between Bodine and Kyle Busch. Darrell Waltrip already suggested earlier this week that Bodine's live TV comments might bring a strong reaction from Busch, including his own special guest TV appearance.

The complete NASCAR TV schedule is on the left side of this page.

We will crank-up the live comments at 11AM and run throughout the day. Join us when you can to catch up on all the items from NHMS. You can also follow us on Twitter at twitter.com/thedalyplanet anytime. Thanks!

Happy Friday, Planeteers! Well if they line up by points that takes one "if" off the table and lets the chasers start up front. I just hope they get practice in. I work with a guy who studied meteorolgy and he says that Sat & Sunday will be nice weather. I hope he's right since we're headed to NH tomorrow morning.

That means I won't be watching it on TV on Sunday, but live and in person. Yay!

With the NFL ratings shooting through the roof, NASCAR can no longer claim the drop in NASCAR ratings is just a reflection of what is happening across the sporting industry as people have more entertainment options than just live TV. There obviously is a problem.
